Is it possible to write Japanese Characters without environment? LaTeX is very popular in Japan, so I don't believe that Japanese always use environments for writing on their native language.

2Please see: Change XeTeX fonts automatically depending on Unicode blocks for typesetting CJK characters without special environments using Xe(La)TeX. – hakaze Nov 21 '12 at 10:13

3There is pTeX (with pLaTeX) that was specially developed for Japanese, so this is what the Japanese generally use. It has been recently supplemented by UpTeX, that supports Unicode fonts. – egreg Nov 21 '12 at 10:16

you can use xelatex (documentation)
or uplatex (documentation)
both can handle OpenType fonts. for uplatex you have to run the sequence uplatex->dvipdfmx
an example with uplatex
